What are some reasons for society to accept and reject gay couples?
There are a whole bunch of archaic reasons to fear homos. The most prominent one you hear is religion. Almost every faith says something here or there about gay people being bad people, but if you wanna talk about religion then there are a whole bunch of contradictions there. I usually just say ';Love thy neighbor'; and walk on, but if people want to get feisty with me one that one I just bring up the whole ';slavery is ok, but shaving is forbidden, oh and all women are supposed to cover their heads at all times, and no one is allowed to eat meat on fridays.'; The other part is the general social stigma of fearing something that you don't understand. I don't get how men can be attracted to women, but it's the norm, whereas other people don't get how men can be attracted to men and that makes them weird and scary. Much like being uncomfortable around someone who is a true metal head, and thinking that they are going to eat a child just because they have a mohawk. Homosexuality is touchy and it'll continue to be for a long time. The best thing you can do to make it better is be out, and open and honest about who you are. That way, the people who you are close to can grow to see that gay people are really just people.
just reflecting on what was said previously about the whole AIDS epidemic ';starting in the gay community';- The most prominent carrier of the HIV Virus today are African American Straight WomenWhat are some reasons for society to accept and reject gay couples?
Under Article's 4 and 14 is seems black/white. The Supreme Court, even with its conservative bent - has signaled in a number of cases to the states and Congress that there is a right to privacy, and that equal protection of the law is just that - equal. My neighbor doesn't get a vote on my life.
Report Abuse
I don't understand it eaither, i think one of the most common reason is cause everything started with mand and woman not man and man or woman and woman.
Also somthing about AIDs starting with Gays. don't belive that this is 100% true but oh well.
It's also a kinda religous thing, where it's adam and eve. But then you could say that straight people are in love with their sister and brothers.
i just find that annoying, while i'm not into males or females, i have several friends who are gay and lesbian and one that is bi. i just think that if you love someone then you should be togather.
People should stop being idiots who are sexist, racist, or any other kind of ist there is.
i think its interesting that someone said what if gays were the majority they'd discriminate against straights. we'd all be discriminating against the people keeping the species going. would it have been perfectly acceptable then for black people to enslave whites on a massive scale, if Africa had colonised Europe instead?
Reasons to accept: we're people too
it doesn't actually affect straights in the slightest either way
there's no good reason not to
Reasons not to: religion
';thats they way we always did it before';
other dumb reasons
Other people probably don't care as much as you think they do. Give them a chance. They probably already know. When my cousin came out, we were like ';Duh. As if we didn't know already';. His mum carried on a bit though - apparently she wasn't on to it at all, and thought the fact that him and his 'friend' had bought a property together wasn't at all suspicious, which cracked us up a lot.
Just don't be too ';out there'; about it- like attention seeking or anything, as that is a bit annoying when people do that. A couple of my friends carry on like that, and I am inwardly saying ';Who cares. Get over it and talk about something else';.
In the end, what right do people have to judge you??! And what right do they have to say mean things about it?
Because the world is ignorant.
the world has no clue that we [all of us regardless of all of our differences] are the future.
get used to it guys...
its a long road ahead
